Top Ports in Bermuda by Indexed Port Reference

The table lists the four Bermuda port and terminal records available in the Ecer Freight database. A comparable 2025 port-level TEU league table and verified year-on-year series were not identified for these individual records; therefore, rank, throughput, and YoY fields are left unreported rather than estimated.

Bermuda Port Codes and UN/LOCODE Structure

BM Prefix and Three-Letter Location Code

Bermuda UN/LOCODE entries begin with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 prefix BM and are followed by a three-letter location identifier, such as BMHAM for Hamilton, BMSGE for Saint George, BMFPT for Freeport, and BMBDA for Hamilton Bm.

City-Level and Terminal-Level References

A location code may identify a city, port area, or specific transport facility. Similar names do not necessarily represent the same operational site, so the UN/LOCODE should be checked against the booking party, terminal, and shipping instruction.

How to Verify a Bermuda Port Code

Cross-check the code against the UNECE reference framework and the Ecer Freight Port Codes directory before quoting or preparing shipping documents.
